Jim Acosta Takes Montreal Cognitive Assessment to Challenge Trump’s IQ Claims
Acosta said the screening checks cognitive decline, not intelligence, after he missed one word and still scored a perfect result.
- On Saturday, journalist Jim Acosta took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment on his show with Dr. Rob Davidson to illustrate President Donald Trump's repeated public bragging about acing the same exam.
- Trump has repeatedly claimed he 'aced' the MoCA, citing it to refute 'dumb' insults while incorrectly equating the medical screening tool with an aptitude or IQ test during recent rallies.
- According to Davidson, executive director of the Committee to Protect Health Care, the MoCA identifies potential cognitive impairment rather than intelligence and is not intended for repeated public validation.
- Acosta scored a perfect result despite a minor 'hiccup' forgetting one word, then argued the president should not take or publicly discuss such medical exams, calling the behavior 'totally nuts.'
- Trump prepares for another evaluation at Walter Reed Hospital on Monday, his fourth publicized examination since returning to office, a pattern medical ethicists say deviates from standard practice.
